Private sale rules question

For a concealed carry permit to allow you to bypass NICS, the permit must meet a set of criteria which make it "NICS-qualified". One of those is that it be issued by a unitary (state) authority, which regularly checks available criminal and mental health records against their list of permit holders - same as if you were magically undergoing a refresher background check on a regular basis.

To do that in CO would require the legislature to conduct a complete revamping of the current permit system and get rid of the county-by-county issuers.

CO, at one time did allow CCW permit purchase w/out a BG check. That was way before statewide CCW. It unfortunately was short lived

Yeah, we could do it that way for about two years between interim brady in 96 and when permanent brady kicked in with its NICS requirements in 98...
